The risk and reward indicator
The risk category was calculated using historical performance data
and may not be a reliable indicator of the fund's future risk profile.
The fund's risk category is not guaranteed to remain fixed and may
change over time.
A fund in the lowest category does not mean a risk-free investment.
The fund is in this category because it can take higher risks in
search of higher rewards and its price may rise and fall accordingly.
Risk factors
The following risks may affect fund performance.
Counterparty risk: The counterparty to a derivative or other
contractual agreement or synthetic financial product could
become unable to honour its commitments to the fund, potentially
creating a partial or total loss for the fund.
Currency risk: The fund can be exposed to different currencies.
Changes in foreign exchange rates could create losses.
Currency risk / hedged share class: Changes in exchange rates will
affect the returns on your investment. The aim of this euro hedged
share class is to provide you with the performance returns of the
fund's investments by reducing the effects of exchange rate
fluctuations between euro and the fund's base currency Japanese
yen.
Derivatives risk: A derivative may not perform as expected, and
may create losses greater than the cost of the derivative.
Equity risk: Equity prices fluctuate daily, based on many factors
including general, economic, industry or company news.
Leverage risk: The fund uses derivatives for leverage, which makes
it more sensitive to certain market or interest rate movements and
may cause above-average volatility and risk of loss.
Liquidity risk: In difficult market conditions, the fund may not be
able to sell a security for full value or at all. This could affect
performance and could cause the fund to defer or suspend
redemptions of its shares.
Operational risk: Failures at service providers could lead to disruptions of fund operations or losses.
